background: the trajectory of marital quality over the life course assumes a curvilinear pattern and declines over time. however, most studies to date have been conducted in developed societies, leaving the generalizability of their findings open to skepticism. in this study, we aimed to delineate the trajectory of marital satisfaction in iran. methods: using cluster-sampling method, representa...

The objective of this project is to identify and label spatial keywords in the given corpus. Instead of using any parser based method, our approach is based on word vector models. We use Google’s Word2Vec for creating word vectors. We train a backpropagation neural network to extract the relationship between three important spatial aspects, that is, trajectors, landmarks and spatial indicators....

Verb-Noun compounds in English can be classified into endocentric compounds and exocentric ones. Among exocentric Verb-Noun compounds, two types of constructions are very common: ‘Verb + Object = Agent’ construction and ‘Verb + Object =Instrument’ construction. Based on the cognitive analysis of endocentric V+N compounds, this paper argues that exocentric V+N compounds can be analyzed in the sa...

We propose an approach for the representation of actions based on the conceptual spaces framework developed by Gärdenfors (2004). Action categories are regarded as properties in the sense of Gärdenfors (2011) and are understood as convex regions in action space. Action categories are mainly described by a force signature that represents the forces that act upon a main trajector involved in the ...

We propose a learning agent that first learns concepts in an integrated, cross-modal manner, and then uses these as the semantics model to map language. We consider the action of throwing, considering the whole trajectory as a single image. A large set of such images, and the throwing parameters are mapped jointly onto a low-dimensional non-linear manifold. Such models improve with practice, an...

In this paper we tackle the problem of source localization by example. We present a methodology that allows a user to train a microphone array system using signals from a set of positions and trajectories and subsequently recall the localization information when presented with new input signals. To do so we present a new statistical model which is capable of accurately describing features from ...

In this paper, we propose a language grounding method that relates verbs which imply body manipulation to motor angle patterns in a humanoid robot to make robots more entertaining. In established methods, verbs are represented by statistical models based on trajectories or motor patterns of a trajector. In our method we use a novel representation model that has six features including both traje...
